Quad Acquires Craftsman Press West

SUSSEX, WI—Quad/Graphics has ventured west with the acquisition of Craftsman Press West, based in Reno, NV. The facility becomes Quad’s tenth, joining sister plants in Wisconsin, New York, West Virginia, Georgia and Oklahoma.

The deal won’t create additional capacity for Quad. It plans to replace Craftsman’s existing press lines with newer, advanced presses that are already in use at other Quad facilities.

“These presses are made available as a result of our companywide platform transformation from 32-page presses to 64-page presses over the last three years,” Quad President and CEO Joel Quadracci said in a statement.
